﻿Ezekiel.
Chapter 25.
The word of the LORD came to me: 
“Son of man, set your face against the Ammonites and prophesy against them. 
Say to the Ammonites, ‘Hear the word of the Lord GOD! This is what the Lord GOD says: Because you said, “Aha!” over my sanctuary when it was profaned, over the land of Israel when it was made desolate, and over the house of Judah when they went into exile, 
therefore I am giving you to the people of the east as a possession. They will establish their camps and set up their dwellings among you. They will eat your fruit and drink your milk. 
I will make Rabbah a pasture for camels and the Ammonites a resting place for flocks. Then you will know that I am the LORD. 
For this is what the Lord GOD says: Because you clapped your hands, stamped your foot, and rejoiced with all the contempt of your soul against the land of Israel, 
therefore I have stretched out my hand against you. I will give you as plunder to the nations, cut you off from among the peoples, and make you perish from among the countries. I will destroy you, and you will know that I am the LORD.’ 
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Moab and Seir said, “Look, the house of Judah is like all the nations,” 
therefore I will open Moab’s flank, from its cities, its frontier cities, the glory of the land—Beth-jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim— 
to the people of the east, along with the Ammonites. I will give it as a possession, so that the Ammonites will not be remembered among the nations. 
I will execute judgments against Moab, and they will know that I am the LORD.’ 
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because Edom acted in vengeance against the house of Judah and became gravely guilty by taking vengeance on them, 
therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will stretch out my hand against Edom and cut off people and animals from it. I will make it a desolation from Teman to Dedan. They will fall by the sword. 
I will put my vengeance against Edom into the hands of my people Israel. They will deal with Edom according to my anger and my wrath, and they will know my vengeance, declares the Lord GOD.’ 
This is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Because the Philistines acted in vengeance and took revenge with contempt in their souls, destroying out of enduring hostility, 
therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I will stretch out my hand against the Philistines, cut off the Cherethites, and destroy the remnant of the seacoast. 
I will execute great acts of vengeance against them with wrathful rebukes. They will know that I am the LORD when I lay my vengeance upon them.’”
